The coal fields of Oregon, so far aa yet
known, are all west of the Cascade
range, and are mostly in the Coast range.
Home, however, are on the western foot
hills of the Cascades. There are four
well-defined fields: The Upper Ncha
lem, in Columbia county; the Lower
Nehalem., in Clatsop county; the Ya
quina, in Lincoln county, aud the Coos
Bay, in Coo county. Outcropping in
other parts of the state, when examined
and developed, result in great richness.
The Upper iNehulem coal field, in Co
lumbia county, extends northeast and
southwettt, a distance of thirteen miles,
and is about two miles wide. The whole
area la about twenty sqnare miles. This
contains two beds of coal, one of six
feet and the other of nine feet in thick
ness. If upon teats thi proves to be
good fuol, there is a demand (or it in
Portland and othor Oregon cities at the
present time. There is no way to got it
out, as thore ia not evon a good wagon
road for twenty miles.
The Lower Nehalem field is situnted
near the county line of Clatsop and Til
lamook counties. -The Lower Nehalem
Hold Is situated near the county line of
Clatsop and Tillamook counties. The
field U five miles long and the coal is of
good quality, but present development
has oiilv shown a thickness of twenty
two inches. Telegram.
